Chapter 281 Yuan Blue and White Porcelain (1)
****
This Saturday, Yang Zimei didn't have to go to school, so she stayed in the room and took out the three-color jadeite for carving.
Grandma's 70th birthday is coming. She wants to give her a three-star sculpture of Fu, Lu, and Shou, wishing her a happy and prosperous birthday than Nanshan.
Although her current knife skills are not comparable to those of jade carving masters, she is no longer crude, and she is full of true energy and appropriate strength, which is unmatched by ordinary jade carving masters.
At nine o'clock, she put down the jade and the knife in her hand, cleaned up, and prepared to go to Song Xuan to learn about antiques.
Passing through Brunei Street, she was naturally habitually looking up to see if there was anything she could miss.
It's a pity that there are very few opportunities to pick up leaks now.
However, she saw two familiar figures in the crowd, Min Gang and his grandfather Min Yulin.
Min Yulin likes antiques, and naturally he often comes to Brunei Street for a stroll to see if he can pick up any leaks.
Min just looked up when he saw her and came over with a happy smile on his face: "Zi Mei, you are here too!"
"I'm here to learn from Mr. Song." Yang Zimei pursed her lips and smiled, "How? Did your grandfather find a good baby?"
"No, how can it be so easy to find leaks? However, I bought something I like!" Min Gang laughed.
"Oh? What is it?"
Min Gang lowered his head and took out a piece of porcelain from the bag in his hand, "Look, this imitation Yuan blue-and-white porcelain is very well made, I looked comfortable, so I bought it for 5,000 yuan. Grandpa was scolded to death, saying why spend 5,000 yuan to buy an imitation? But I just like it, so I don't care if it's imitation or not!"
Yang Zimei's eyes lit up, this porcelain radiated a faint antique air, where is imitation porcelain, it is clearly a real antique.
"let me see!"
She carefully took the porcelain from Min Gang's hand.
This blue and white porcelain is 27.5cm high, 21cm in diameter, 33cm in belly diameter and 20cm in foot diameter. The plain bottom has a wide circle of feet, a straight mouth and a short neck, a slightly thicker lip, and a rounded belly. Using imported cobalt materials, the blue and white decoration is divided into four layers. The first layer is decorated with water ripples on the neck, the second layer is decorated with tangled peony on the shoulders, the third layer is decorated with the theme of "Guiguzi Going Down the Mountain", and the lower part of the fourth layer is decorated with deformed lotus petals. Inside painted Chenbao, commonly known as "eight yards".
The theme screen describes the story of Sun Bin's master Guiguzi, who, at the request of Su Dai, the envoy of the State of Qi, promised to go down the mountain to rescue the famous generals of the State of Qi, Sun Bin and Dugu Chen, who were trapped by the State of Yan. Guiguzi sat upright in the car pulled by a tiger and a leopard, leaning forward slightly, his demeanor was as calm as a fairy, and he showed the demeanor that he was strategizing and winning thousands of miles away. The two infantrymen in front of the chariot held spears to clear the way. A young general was full of heroism, walking on horseback, holding a battle flag in his hand, and writing the word "Ghost Valley", and Su Dai rode in the rear. The group of people and the mountains, trees and rocks constitute a magnificent and beautiful picture of landscape figures. The whole blue and white decoration is rich in color, the picture is full, the density is neat, the primary and secondary are distinct, and it is integrated. The character depiction is smooth and natural, full of charm, the mountains and rocks are dyed incisively and vividly, and the brushwork is precise and perfect.
Yang Zimei, based on what Song Xuan taught her about Yuan blue and white porcelain last time, combined with the physical energy that she could see with her celestial eyes, there was no doubt that this was a genuine Yuan blue and white porcelain, not an imitation.
